What to Say After “Hey”?

You meet someone. You say “hey.”
And then... awkward silence.
Like an elevator stopping between floors.
You look at the person, feel like you should say something—
but have no idea what.

That moment actually decides whether you’ll hit it off or forget each other in three minutes.

Conversation starters that actually work 🔓

Forget “How are you?” or “What do you do?”
Those are the plain toast of questions—dry and predictable.

If you want the convo to feel natural and easy, try something that ties into the moment. Like:

– “So, how’d you end up here tonight?”
– “This music is 🔥—you know who’s playing?”
– “This place has a vibe. You come here often?”

These kinds of questions are light, non-invasive, and open the door to a real conversation.
Even better—they sound like something you'd actually say in person, not lines from a “How to Be Interesting” script.

Vibe first, then flirt ✨

It’s totally normal to chill and feel the vibe before diving into anything flirty.
Once you click, you can slide in with something personal—but not too much.

Skip the generic compliments. Focus on the little things:

– “You’ve got this dangerously charming energy. Is that always the case or just tonight?”
– [after a witty comment] “Okay, admit it—you practiced that in the mirror.”
– “Just so you know—if you keep laughing like that all night, I’m not gonna be able to focus on anything else.”

Comments like these show you’re actually paying attention, not just trying to impress.

The ultimate convo killer 🎭

Biggest mistake? Talking too much about yourself.
People think they have to “sell” themselves, but it just kills the vibe.

The real move? Listen. Actively.
Instead of planning your next line, actually hear what they’re saying.
Ask a follow-up. Connect.

Because the most memorable person is the one who really listens.
